Well-being Material Library
As RISC researchers, we focus on the search for the best materials to implement in construction projects as well as for a better quality of life according to our concept of "for all well-being".
Expanding our Integrated Research Network and building partnerships with public sector eco-designers and manufacturers, the library will exponentially grow and become one of the most extensive eco-material collections available.
Materials Display
This is the first library to collect and display eco-materials for design and architectural applications to support designers. The library also showcases the most updated material trends.
Materials Studio
Material Studio Workshop is a space for preparing new materials for the RISC library. The studio includes a photo studio and material storage space. It is also a space for collaborative workshop activities to exchange ideas and information.
Materials Online
The information on all materials will be collected and digitized for our online database which you can conveniently search for information. In the future, this database will be the most comprehensive material database available.

Why Do City Trees Have Fewer Blooms?
Trees in nature often bloom beautifully, giving us wonderful blossoms to enjoy. But have you noticed that urban trees seem to flower less?So what factors affect how tree bloom? Flowering is governed by internal factors, such as shorter or longer days and the tree’s maturity, as well as external factors like water and pruning.City trees are often exposed to artificial lighting at night (read more: https://bit.ly/3rF7P5g). Research has found that some species flower less with limited or interrupted nighttime darkness, even if trees reach the right age. Trees shaded by buildings can also get less sunlight.Certain tree species bloom during dry seasons. Water stress triggers flowering as a survival mechanism. But urban trees are frequently watered year-round, reducing this response.To ensure city trees bloom seasonally, it’s essential to start with tree species suited to the local environment. Spaces should provide adequate exposure to both sunlight and artificial light. Care should mimic natural conditions and stimulate seasonal flowering. The result will be a beautiful city with charming urban spaces.Story by: Siriwan Sukngam, Intern from Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University and Thanawat Jinjarak, senior researcher Environmental Department Urban Environmental & Biodiversity Engineer, RISC Reference by At gardare.
